Medway Eyes was an independent, grass-roots creative collective with an inclusive, community-based approach to the arts and a clear DIY ethic. It ran for five years between 2008 and 2013 and is now deceased. Any short, sharp proclamations you see on Facebook or on Twitter from now on should be viewed either as death rattlings or serious recommendations.

Anyway, we thought we’d just pop back to say goodbye and thank you, and to share the PHOTOS.

Tune in to Fizzer’s Radio Show online tomorrow night (Monday 1st October) from 8pm to 10pm to hear our spokesperson Phil promoting ME4, this year’s Medway Eyes charity compilation, with a special guest and a clutch of interesting mp3s on a tiny stick thing. Find out who’s launching this year’s album for us and learn about our chosen charity in advance of the full press release malarkey on October 7th.

Now then, now then. Phil and Hannah had a great time taking over Fizzer’s Show on Monday. Thanks again to Fizzer, Brandon and Grace for the opportunity. You can listen again on Fizzer’s podcast page now, and we’ve compiled the playlist from the show below following requests from some of our more anal listeners. Enjoy!

Maker – Soaked Up

Unlucky Fried Kitten – This Is England

Bear vs Manero – Now Is Not The The Time For Impressions, Rory Bremner

Saturday 6th November sees us back at the Barge in Gillingham for our last Oxjam fundraiser of 2010, where we’ll be celebrating the best of Britpop which, you may recall, was the UK’s last great bid for musical dominance. Back in the Nineties it was all M People, Spice Girls and Grunge, and previously dance music had ruled the waves. Now it was time for proper tunes you could whistle as you did the Lambeth Walk down to the newsagents to buy your copy of Loaded magazine, or surfed the tide of New Labour pre-millenial optimism on your way to procure your first ever DVD from the Virgin Megastore. Or something like that.

Like all of Medway Eyes’ Barge bashes, we reckon this will be big. Even bigger than the mobile phone you had during the great Blur vs Oasis made up media war of 1994, so get there early to bagsy a table. The live music will start some time between 8:30 and 9:00.

Please do your bit by coming along with a pocketful of change for Oxjam, by spreading the word and by clicking on the poster to download and share it.

As ever, our line up is subject to change. We’re relaxed and groovy like that. Expect some bonus performers.
